The Difference Between Diamonds and Stars
While it can be useful to see what other travelers are saying about a property, user reviews are subjective and may be biased. Diamond designations are determined by trained professionals who inspect more than 58,000 properties across North America every year. Diamond-designated properties must meet AAA standards for cleanliness, condition and safety at every level, so there are no bad choices. But every hotel isn’t the right choice for every trip or every traveler. AAA’s expert inspectors assign Diamonds levels based on the experience and amenities offered, giving you guidance at a glance so you can choose the right hotel for your travel needs and budget.
